A part of integration with NEO Blockchain Toolkit (see #902). To be
able to deploy smart-contract compiled with neo-go compiler via NEO
Express, we have to generate additional .abi.json file. This file
contains the following information:
- hash of the compiled contract
- smart-contract metadata (title, description, version, author,
email, has-storage, has-dynamic-invoke, is-payable)
- smart-contract entry point
- functions
- events
However, this .abi.json file is slightly different from the one,
described in manifest.go, so we have to add auxilaury stractures for
json marshalling. The .abi.json format used by NEO-Express is described
[here](https://github.com/neo-project/neo-devpack-dotnet/blob/master/src/Neo.Compiler.MSIL/FuncExport.cs#L66).
Method `methodInfoFromScope(...)` always returned an empty parameters
set, so we were missing this information in both .abi.json and
.debug.json files. Fixed now.
Sequence points is a way to map a specific instruction offset
from a compiled contract to a text span in a source file.
This commit implements mapping only for `return` statements.
Further improvements are straight-forward.
Previously, struct variables were initialize with VM's nil value
which is of primitive type. Thus SETITEM used for struct's field
updating wasn't working.
Previously this declarations were ignored which resulted
in runtime errors, because VM's nil is an element of primitive type
and can't be converted to an array.
When `return` or `break` statement is encountered inside
a for/range/switch statement, top stack items can be auxilliary.
They need to be cleaned up before returning from the function.
Current implementation of short-circuting is just plain wrong
as it uses `last` or `before-last` labels which meaning depend
on context. It doesn't even handle simple assignements like
`a := x == 1 && y == 2`.
This commit makes all jumps in such conditions local
and adds tests.
Closes#699, #700.
While initializing a struct, it is a top item on ALTSTACK.
This means that if we need to load a local variable,
DUPFROMALTSTACK won't longer push an array of locals on stack
but rather a currently initializing struct.
Closes#656.
Old implementation could view 0x62 byte in
a script as a JMP instruction irregardless of whether it is
a real opcode or a part of a parameter of another instruction.
In this commit instructions are decoded together with parameters
during jump label rewriting.
Because the constants are loaded directly via `emitLoadConst`, there is no need to store
them in an array of locals. It can have a big overhead, because it
is done at the beginning of every function.
Append should leave it's result on top of the stack.
Thus we need to transform top of the stack:
(top) a . b --> (top) a . b . b
It can be done with just OVER + SWAP.
A while ago VM serialization format for Integer items was changed
but compiler continued to emit Integers in old format.
This commit changes compiler behaviour to be compatible with VM.
